Used to describe a female ("Other Woman") whom you definitely prefer not to think about when 'referencing' them to your family, friends, co-workers or acquaintances as the person your boyfriend or husband left you for or is sleeping with. Can also apply if you're a gay or a bi-sexual female and another woman is sleeping with your past/current partner or lover.

"I cannot BELIEVE that he/she had the nerve to show up with that fucking OW at the party last night!"

A chatboard on the popular neopets.com website. Also known as "Other Worlds".

OW went through many changes including, after a time, the arrival of homeless EMSers (of the EMS) when The Neopets Team decided to nuke it. It was then brought back after much protest from the natives. Many OWers followed their new friends to EMS flitting between the two. Then in an annoying twist of fate The Neopets Team nuked the board responsible for spontaneous eye bleeds GENERAL CHAT! Evil... With this many of these little eye bleeders rolled into both OW and EMS causing head explosions and un-pirately eye poppery in their wake. Many OWers weren't too bothered and left, some poping on occasionally for nostalgia. Unfortunately the EMS took the worst blow and is still brain meltingly scary to this day.

Nowadays the OW different place. But, with a bit of magic and a copy of MS paint, maybe OW can once again be a place of tasteful humour, high fantasy and general silliness? Where's Adam when you need him eh!
